'''''Surfman in the "NO" Race''''' is an eight page-long stick figure comic written and illustrated by [[NeonWabbit|Darien Brice Dickinson]] and his older brother [[Joshua James Dickinson]] under the Darien Enterprises Co. brand (now [[Studio RGB-Newt / The Fishal Project]]), with a single page drawn each day and shared with family and friends, at some point in 2004 (defaulting to January 1–8, due to the actual date being forgotten), the year when Darien turned 8 years old. The original version of the comic, drawn on lined sheets ripped out of a school notebook, is the only surviving story that still exists out of a larger compilation of comics in a fanzine called the "Darien Daily", also made by Darien that year. | '''''Surfman in the "NO" Race''''' is an eight page-long stick figure comic written and illustrated by [[NeonWabbit|Darien Brice Dickinson]] and his older brother [[Joshua James Dickinson]] under the Darien Enterprises Co. brand (now [[Studio RGB-Newt / The Fishal Project]]), with a single page drawn each day and shared with family and friends, at some point in 2004 (defaulting to January 1–8, due to the actual date being forgotten), the year when Darien turned 8 years old.

Other Surfman comics from this compilation, which were thrown out at some point (making them permanently lost media), spawned an semi-antagonist, anti-hero character: The alter-ego of Surfman's sidekick "Beachboy", when infected by a gooey parasite in the form of a long-eared alien cat mask, whose later designs became the rabbit character [[Neon Mascot]], as the art style evolved over the years, inadvertently making the ears longer. Additional post-''Daily'' Surfman comics and spinoffs spanning the years 2004–2012 were rediscovered in November 2023, and are in the process of being archived. | Other Surfman comics from this compilation, which were thrown out at some point (making them permanently lost media), spawned an semi-antagonist, anti-hero character: The alter-ego of Surfman's sidekick "Beachboy", when infected by a gooey parasite in the form of a long-eared alien cat mask, whose later designs became the rabbit character [[Neon Mascot]], as the art style evolved over the years, inadvertently making the ears longer.

Efforts to recreate ''Surfman in the "NO" Race'', in the same or similar art style for legacy reasons, have occurred multiple times in the years since. First, the comic was recreated in Microsoft PowerPoint, with each panel now a slide in a slideshow. One other effort to recreate the comic for its 10th anniversary in 2014, started and ended in 2012, with only half of the comic being completed<ref>https://neonwabbit.the-comic.org/</ref>. Another effort to recreate the comic as an animation began production in 2017, and is set to release on the comic's 20th anniversary year in 2024, albeit probably not in January. | Efforts to recreate ''Surfman in the "NO" Race'', in the same or similar art style for legacy reasons, have occurred multiple times in the years since.
